I‘ve used Android and iPhones for multiple years. Now I am using an iPhone and I am very happy. Main reasons are build quality and software. It just works. And the main advantage is primarily if you use multiple Apple devices. And since Android phones are expensive as fuck, too, I don’t care about the price anymore

Now I miss my Pebble and Pebble 2 :(

And this was the other song from Hitachi.

There you go, but it was Linspire already: https://piped.video/watch?v=IIYtKHnU4mQ%3Fsi%3DtW7VM1MY1DFBB2BB&t=4

Wait, didn’t they have a super weird/catchy song about Lindows back then? Or am I confusing it with the Perpendicular song, when HDD manufacturers switched to this technology?

Don’t worry, almost everyone did get the joke and it was funny imho.

By the way OP, similar but worse is the ability to handle 25Gbits. But someone made a working router for that as well and CPU was also a factor: https://michael.stapelberg.ch/posts/2022-04-23-fiber7-25gbit-upgrade/

True. But since OP is using a benchmark anyways, I don‘t know how close to real world that is. If they are doing lots of filesharing, let‘s say with P2P networks, it could be way worse because of the number of connections. So I agree with you - I was just working with the info I had :)

TIL … thank you very much for clearing that up, very much appreciated! :)

And he is currently at 1/3 of the potential speed and 3*60% = 180% CPU load for 1Gbits. So I wouldn’t even bother troubleshooting further when you already know the hardware will be an issue sooner or later.

The question is what you do with your pfsense. IDS/IPS are quite CPU hungry and Celerons are not really fast CPU’s.

Oh, as with any Linux, all of them are for everything suitable if you have the time to modify everything. I‘d rather use a Linux which is optimized for gaming, e.g. uses Zen kernel, ProtonPlus, Steam with gamescope and gamemode, HDR enabled by default due to the correct DisplayPort drivers, and many other things.

In terms of frames per second, it is probably only slightly better than an unoptimized OpenSUSE

I always was and will be team SUSE, no matter what. With other distros I had bad experiences at some point. Never with SLES or OpenSUSE. Although, currently I have no OpenSUSE installation, as it is not suitable for gaming.

Maybe you should take a break.

DNS? Why so complicated? Just edit your hosts file 😏

We used it as OS for the tank and airplane simulators, just because it made them cheaper compared to buying 500 Windows licenses

Been using Proton stuff for years. Some things are super annoying and just don‘t work. Their software engineers are mediocre at best. This made me move everything away from Proton a couple of years ago. Funny enough, all the other privacy focused providers annoyed me even more. So after 1-2 years without Proton, I moved everything back :D

Don‘t expect too much and you will be fine. Simple features you know from other services might be missing. Support is meh, but you rarely have to use it.

Agree. I just got it for fun and because it was cheap. I used it for my disposable e-mail addresses but now switched to .org

Also, don‘t use it for any mail servers. Spam Assassin gives a negative score by default on *.xyz domains. Stupid as shit, but I had to learn the hard way.
